artm's dev setup boilerplate

The goal of this is to automate my development practices so starting new projects is an easy streamlined process.

directory structure

• source root
  • main: main executable(s) will be built there
    • gui code that won't be tested goes here as well
  • cmake: cmake extensions, macros and scripts
  • ruby: ruby helpers and private libraries that aren't gems yet
  • lib: project specific libraries:
    • every project will have a static project library linked into main executable and tests
    • some dependencies may be placed under lib as git submodules
      • cxxtest
  • test: cxxtest based unit tests
  • vendor: bundler installs gems into vendor/bundle

cmake

I use cmake as a basis for C/C++ build system. The boilerplate comes with CMakeLists.txt in several directories setup in a particular way.

C/C++

Qt

Qt is used for GUIs.

Optional (?)

OpenCV

Optional

ffmpeg

Optional

ruby

Ruby is used for high level automation tasks. setting up the right ruby version is left out for now. on the mac platform I use rbenv to setup ruby version.

bundler

bundler is used for gem management.

guard

guard is used for continuous testing and poor man's continuous integration.
